    Is anyone changed your dashboard user name.

    if yes, did you checkout after that.

    because i changed my dashboard name to my nickname,
    i did this intention of some one posted in this forum we can change name to any.

    i make a checkout. i received as violation of policy and banned my account.

    i received greetings in mail as well, that's not greetings that is dead siren for me:smash:.

    i approach mturk team, i got a message that you cannot change the name that is given in the mturk while sigh up.

    any way i get logged into my account after 3 hours.

    Be safe friends. Don't enjoy scary 3 hours.

    Thank God for getting your account back.

    Now we(Indians) are not able to create a new account with them.

    The participation agreement calls for the provision of names and addresses of workers and requesters alike, and since there are requesters (including me) who don't want to reveal their full name on the listings, we hide it using the only available method, entering an alias.

    My worker dashboard reads 'adaaaam' as a result. A requester that displays 'Smartsheets Clients' is filling in his last name as 'Clients'. The toy requester 'Hillary' omits her last name. If you're not a requester (or from India seemingly), you're sol. You're nothing to Amazon. Disposable crowdlice. The gum on their soles. The bane to their indifferential approach to policy enforcement and (lack of) requester-worker arbitration.
